Feed Dry Mash to Poultry For Early Marketing
Iowa State College economists advise continuing dry mash feeding after 6 to 8 weeks to speed growth and feathering, enabling sale at 3 to 5 months. A recommended mixture includes corn, oats, ground wheat or barley, meat and bone meal, dried milk, salt, and cod liver oil. Milk can be omitted if birds drink enough. Large batches store well for weeks.
